While Hamilton City Council pushes back a vote on whether they still support their own LRT plan until September, supporters - both residential, business and institutional - continue to speak up and articulate why Council should not even think about losing its nerve.

Hamilton Light Rail is launching a renewed effort to engage Hamiltonians in local consultation and advocacy to ensure that the Provincial investment in Light Rail Transit (LRT) for Hamilton is successful.

Featured Statement

As small business and property owners in the downtown, my wife and I truly believe that an LRT running east-west can be a truly transformative and beneficial project to renew and strengthen Hamilton.

A project like this requires vision from our leaders and citizens to move Hamilton into the future. As someone once told me "not only will LRT move people across the city - it will also move ideas." Those fresh, bold and brave ideas are what will help make Hamilton a more amazing place to live. We owe it to our kids and our future citizens to build sustainable and innovative transit solutions.
